Salam Brothers and sisters
Every translator has used 'yafoona' in 2237 as feminine plural whereas grammatically it refers to masculine plural. Could anyone please help me understand it?

This word used pronoun hunna.It's third person and can be masculine or femininine depend on it's context.
By seeing the verse's context, no doubt again if it's a feminine. -

Since this word is imperfect verb, so the pronoun is used both in the first and the last sentence.
- The first pronoun (Ya) in the imperfect verb is the pronoun of "they" and it must be a masculine.
Why??
Because notice waw before nun in the last, this is why.
If the ya' is feminine, in Arabic it should have written as like this
Imperfect verb's formula is not simple as the perfect one

Brother now you are making the same mistake that I made. The root of verb is
Waw before Noon is part of the root.
so is feminine plural. Hope it clarifies. -

so is feminine plural. Hope it clarifies.The trilinear root is only a formality.In the fact this word without any pronoun will became like this and it's verb.
Trilinear-bilinear is a modern term, better check the Lane Lexicon to solve the real meaning of this word.Then the "waw" I believe is not part of root, but formula.
This is the example of pronoun ya' as a masculine and feminine
(masculine)
(feminine)
P.S Notice the difference

In both words root is
and if you see this root is preserved in both words.
In root is
Like in root is preserved in root is preserved.Like root is preserved in

499When used as perfect verb it is written as but the root is still

Like I said "trilinear root system" is universities innovation, so don't believe it too much.

Masculine verb in subjunctive mood
Feminine
Ta' ya' is the pronoun used for imperfect verb and it can be masculine or feminine.Ya' is for third person (they) while ta' in english is like "you"
The usage of nun in the last is to prove if that word is plural.So how to knowing if that word is masculine of feminine? By looking the vowel used in the last and context of the verse.
Both of this two words are masculine, notice the vowel u in the last.
The masculine always used vowel "u" in the last part especially in imperfect verb case. -

The masculine always used vowel "u" in the last part especially in imperfect verb case.Nun in the last is mood indicator Indicative and its absence is the indicator of the verb being either in jussive or subjunctive mood, determined by the context.
Nun is otherwise pronoun for feminine plural subject of the verb as is the case in the verb under discussion.
In first feminine verb Waw is the original radical of the Root while Waw in masculine verb is the subject pronoun for third person masculine plural and Noon is mood indicator.

Thanks brother Mazhar
That's what I understood that Waw is part of root in feminine plural
